Il metodo "Easyway", ideato nel 1983 da Allen Carr, pare davvero efficace nell'indurre fumatori incalliti a rinunciare al tabacco. Non si basa su tattiche intimidatorie, non fa appello alla forza di volontà né porta ad ingrassare, ma permette ugualmente di liberarsi dalla schiavitù della nicotina.

A powerful, passionate novel of suspense and love from Nora Roberts - the world's greatest storyteller

Lauren Weisberger, known for her bestselling debut, returns with a cautionary tale about the PR industry, echoing themes from her previous work. The story follows Bette Robinson, a twentysomething Emory graduate who rejects her parents' hippie ideals for a high-paying but dull job at a prestigious investment bank. After a condescending encounter with her boss, she impulsively quits and spends weeks indulging in a leisurely lifestyle with her dog, Millington. Eventually, her uncle helps her land a job at a trendy public relations firm, where her duties revolve around late-night parties and feeding gossip columns. As Bette navigates the social scene, she climbs the ladder at the expense of her friends, family, and a promising romantic interest. Weisberger cleverly transforms outrageous situations into entertaining anecdotes, such as a woman who almost took her life until she learned she was just 18 months away from acquiring a coveted Birkin bag. This blend of wit and a touch of voyeurism makes the narrative a guilty pleasure that readers will find hard to resist.

Per Leigh Eisner, newyorchese trentenne dalla vita apparentemente perfetta, il lunedì è sacro. Editor in carriera in una casa editrice, fidanzata a un uomo che tutti le invidiano, vive in un appartamentino a Manhattan davanti all'Empire State Building e adora dedicare la prima sera della settimana al totale relax. Nessuno oserebbe mai disturbarla, né Russell, il fidanzato, né le amiche di sempre, Adriana ed Emmy, abituate da tempo alle sue rigidità. Ecco perché, quando, proprio un lunedì, sente bussare alla porta, Leigh si fa prendere dal panico. Ma una figura accovacciata sul pianerottolo attira la sua attenzione: è Emmy, in lacrime, che racconta di essere stata scaricata dal fidanzato a favore della giovane e illibata personal trainer, che lei stessa gli aveva presentato. È la goccia che fa traboccare il vaso, così, poco dopo, le amiche sanciscono un diabolico patto: dopo aver sopportato per troppo tempo i più atroci tradimenti nella speranza che il fedifrago si decidesse a compiere il grande passo, la timida Emmy dirà addio alla morigeratezza e per un anno dovrà cambiare più uomini che scarpe. Adriana, invece, abituata da sempre a sedurre un numero imprecisato di uomini, dovrà imparare ad avere una relazione stabile. Solo Leigh resta esclusa dalla gara, ma per poco. Perché quando il diavolo ci mette la coda, complice un anello inaspettato e un nuovo lavoro, anche le migliori intenzioni rischiano di andarsene all'inferno.

From America's most beloved comedic actress and the star of Desperate Housewives comes a personal, heartfelt, and often very funny manifesto on life, love, and the lessons we all need to learn -- and unlearn -- on the road to happinessTeri Hatcher secured her place in America's heart when she stood up to accept her Golden Globe for Best Actress and declared herself a "has-been" on national television. That moment showcased her down-to-earth, self-deprecating style -- and her frank openness about the ups and downs she's experienced in life and work. But what the world might not have seen that night is that Teri's self-acceptance is the hard-won effort of a single mother with all the same struggles most women have to juggle -- life, love, bake sale cookies, and dying cats. Now, in the hope that her foibles and insights might inspire and motivate other women, Teri opens up about the little moments that have sustained her through good times and bad. From the everyday (like the importance of letting your daughter spill her macaroni so she knows it's okay to make mistakes) to the rare (a rendezvous with a humpback whale -- and no, he was not a suitor), the message at the heart of Burnt Toast -- that happiness and success are choices that we owe it to ourselves to make -- is sure to resonate with women everywhere.

A chi la visitasse per la prima volta, Pagford apparirebbe come un'idilliaca cittadina inglese. Un gioiello incastonato tra verdi colline, con un'antica abbazia, una piazza lastricata di ciottoli, case eleganti e prati ordinatamente falciati. Ma sotto lo smalto perfetto di questo villaggio di provincia si nascondono ipocrisia, rancori e tradimenti. Tutti a Pagford, dietro le tende ben tirate delle loro case, sembrano aver intrapreso una guerra personale e universale: figli contro genitori, mogli contro mariti, benestanti contro emarginati. La morte di Barry Fairbrother, il consigliere più amato e odiato della città, porta alla luce il vero cuore di Pagford e dei suoi abitanti: la lotta per il suo posto all'interno dell'amministrazione locale è un terremoto che sbriciola le fondamenta, che rimescola divisioni e alleanze. Eppure, dalla crisi totale, dalla distruzione di certezze e valori, ecco emergere una verità spiazzante, ironica, purificatrice: che la vita è imprevedibile e spietata, e affrontarla con coraggio è l'unico modo per non farsi travolgere, oltre che dalle sue tragedie, anche dal ridicolo.
